watering new plantings


Question
Hi!
We just planted a row of 25 emerald green arborvitae (6'tall).  We watered each one after planting.  My questions are:
1. How often do I water them now?
2. Will a soaker hose placed down the row do the job?
3. When do I stop watering for the winter (e.g., after the 1st freeze?)?
Thank you for your help!!!  We don't want to lose these expensive shrubs.  

Answer
Hi Arasay
watering depends on your soil type. arborvites are shallow rooted so if you have good drainage twice a week will do the job. in clay soil once a week. you can use a soaker hose but the same instructions apply. cut back on the water when the temperature drops below 50. Good luck  Larry  ;-)
